[comp.sys.mac.misc] AFE conflict with removable HD

chh2@hera.uucp (27411-Cliff Halevi(M532)) (05/30/91)

Macusers,

I'm having trouble opening Apple File Exchange (AFE) and I believe that this is
due to a conflict between Apple File Exchange and the driver for
my Ehman removable cartridge hard disk.  When I open AFE I see the AFE
window but almost immediately it gets covered up by a dialog box that says
"Apple File Exchange cannot read this disk. Do you want to initialize it?"
Underneath is an icon that looks like the icon for the removable disk, 
and underneath that is a radio button that says "OK" (the button is
selected, and it can't be unselected).  To the right is a greyed out
"initialize" button and to the right of this is an "Eject" button (the only
working thing in the dialog box!).  When I press the Eject button the dialog
box disappears and then reappears.  The only way out is to hit the programmers
switch and then restart.  Has anybody had this conflict before?   
Ehman removable cartridge users out there, are you able to use AFE w/o
problems?
